More on-screen messages
I like that the "Press activate to [warp|enter station]" messages are now displayed on screen rather than in the chat log. There are still a few messages that are in chat that I think would work better as on-screen messages, to reduce the chat spam.
The "Entering [system|sector]" messages are the biggest example I can think of, and the message saying where somebody nearby jumped to. There are others that I'm not sure about - "[Sector, Group, etc] chat activated" for example.. It's a good thing to know what the default chat is, but every time I enter a station, I get one of these in the General tab. Maybe if it's only shown when the active chat changes..
I can just imagine the necessity for a streamlined communication system when there are hundreds (thousands?) of people online talking at once. What we have works for now, but what will happen Soon™?
And will we ever get nation chat back? Maybe nation-restricted channels?

Yeah, I'm working on cleaning that up a little.
I'll probably move the thing that tells you where you are onto the HUD, probably in the lower left or right corner.
